My Lullabye to You

I come from a very unstable background and this was a poem my boyfriend sent to me. What i want people to get out of this is that even if you had a terrible past, don't think that's how your life will always be. He has been my BGF since Pre-K and loves depite it all.

As we fall asleep With you wrapped in my arms Together forever and always Safe from any harm

I bury my face in your hair Breathing in your scented shampoo Smiling to myself As I whisper my vow to you

"You need not worry about me leaving For your my only one I’ll love you to the grave The setting of the distant sun"

I pull you closer to me "I’d drop every fling for you For it is you I want to be my girl The one I’d marry and start a life so new

"I wouldn't trade you for the world Since it's u who holds the key to my <3 The one, if you leave me Could make my world crumble and fall apart"

I kiss you tenderly on the neck Before falling asleep too For tomorrow we'll love each other til death do us part For it's the day we say "I do".
